What is Dog Training Like at Springdale Pet Ranch?
One of the reasons our dog training programs are so effective is our ability to design a custom-tailored program for your dog. No two dogs are totally alike—even ones from the same litter! We approach every canine student like the individual they are, taking into account everything from their age, breed, prior training experience, motivators, and your family’s goals. Our experts have the experience and background to produce the results you desire in a way that’s comprehensible and fun for your dog.
Springdale Pet Ranch is equipped with all the tools and variables needed for effective dog training. It’s not a “sterile” training environment—which means we’re able to introduce a variety of distractions and challenges as your pet progresses in their program. The real world is full of distractions, and we’re preparing your pet to recall their skills in real-world situations.
Our dog obedience and puppy obedience training programs focus on balancing learning with play. This critical aspect of our training is like the “secret ingredient,” especially with puppies. We give them a place to play, have fun, and spend their extra energy. By the time they’re with our trainers, fun and games is out of their system and they’re ready to focus.
Springdale Pet Ranch is staffed by a group of expert dog training professionals rather than just one. This means your dog works with multiple trainers throughout their program, a key part in separating the training from the person giving the commands. We want your pet to respond to your entire family by the time training is over, not just our trainers! Plus, having a whole training team means we’re always on hand to support you before, during, and after your pet’s training.
Our dog training and puppy training programs are built to produce maximum results. That’s why our programs are designed to have your pet with us for consecutive days with little to no gaps in between training visits. Waiting too long between training sessions gives your dog the chance to forget everything they learned before they have the chance to build on it. Not at Springdale. We work with your dog multiple times every day for the length of their program to solidify their knowledge, ensuring it lasts well beyond the end of training.
A Word From One of our Clients
I rescued my Baby girl Precious 2 years ago from a homeless camp. When I first got her she was out of control with behavioral problems. I tried other Dog Training programs with no success....then I found Springdale Pet Ranch. I was greeted by the owner Cheryl and her kind staff and given a wonderful orientation. I enrolled Precious in Day Care and Training with remarkable results. I cannot put into mere words how Blessed I am to have found Springdale Pet Ranch. The staff and assistants always greet Precious by her name and she is so excited to get there. I would like to give Jack recognition as a Personal Trainer. He has performed miracles with Precious and would highly recommend him. Springdale also does Grooming that is expertise and boarding if needed. Even on special occasions on my dogs birthday they gave her a Birthday Party. I rate Springdale Pet Ranch with 5 stars and would give a 10 if I could. Thank you so much Springdale for being a wonderful family!

- Teach your dog to respond promptly to verbal cues
